Notes

Store any leftover brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also keep them in the fridge for longer freshness. Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results. Allow the brookies to cool completely before cutting them to prevent them from falling apart. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your sweetness preference.
